§ 37. Mr. Hamlingasked the Lord President of the Council when it is proposed to re-establish Annie's Bar, or a similar institution, for the joint use of Members of the House and members of the Lobby.
§ Mr. CrossmanThe accommodation and servicing of such a room raises difficult problems, but this proposal is under consideration by the Select Committee on House of Commons (Services), which fully recognises the importance of the matter to both sides.
§ Mr. HamlingIs my right hon. Friend aware that the present conditions for members of the Lobby and hon. Members of the House are terribly old-fashioned and undignified, and ought not the proposal to be speeded up?
§ Mr. CrossmanYes, Sir. There is a genuine need on both sides, and we are hoping that something will be found which will enable us to service both sides.
